Islet cells can also refer to a group of cells, cell clusters, or the like. The terms “progenitor” and “precursor” cell are used interchangeably herein and refer to cells that have a cellular phenotype that is more primitive (e.g., is at an earlier step along a developmental pathway or progression than is a fully differentiated cell) relative to a cell which it can give rise to by differentiation. Often, progenitor cells can also have significant or very high proliferative potential. Progenitor cells can give rise to multiple distinct differentiated cell types or to a single differentiated cell type, depending on the developmental pathway and on the environment in which the cells develop and differentiate. A “precursor thereof’ as the term related to an insulin-positive endocrine cell can refer to any cell that is capable of differentiating into an insulin-positive endocrine cell, including for example, a pluripotent stem cell, a definitive endoderm cell, a primitive gut tube cell, a pancreatic progenitor cell, or endocrine progenitor cell, that if cultured under suitable conditions will differentiate the precursor cell into the insulin-positive endocrine cell. The terms “stem cell-derived P cell,” “SC-P cell,” “functional P cell,” “functional pancreatic P cell,” “mature SC-P cell,” “P-like cell” and their grammatical equivalents can refer to cells (e.g., non-native pancreatic P cells) that display at least one marker indicative of a pancreatic P cell (e.g., PDX-1 or NKX6.1), expresses insulin, and display a glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) response similar or superior to that of an endogenous mature P cell (e.g., a mature P from a healthy functioning pancreas from a healthy adult non-diabetic patient). For simplicity, SC-P cells may be referred to as simply “P cells” in this disclosure. In some embodiments, the terms “SC-P cell” and “non-native P cell” as used herein are interchangeable. In some embodiments, the “SC-P cell” expresses lower levels of MAFA than a pancreatic P cell from a healthy adult human patient. In some embodiments, the “SC-P cell” expresses higher levels of MAFB than a pancreatic P cell from a healthy adult human patient. In some embodiments, the “SC-P cell” expresses higher levels of SIX2, HOPX, IAPP and / or UCN3 than a pancreatic P cell from a healthy adult human patient. In some embodiments, the “SC-P cell” comprises a mature pancreatic cell. It is to be understood that the SC-P cells need not be derived (e.g., directly) from stem cells, as the methods of the disclosure are capable of deriving SC-P cells from any insulin-positive endocrine cell or precursor thereof using any cell as a starting point (e.g., one can use embryonic stem cells, induced-pluripotent stem cells, progenitor cells such as definitive endoderm cells, partially reprogrammed somatic cells (e.g., a somatic cell which has been partially reprogrammed to an intermediate state between an induced pluripotent stem cell and the somatic cell from which it was derived), multipotent cells, totipotent cells, a transdifferentiated version of any of the foregoing cells, etc., as the invention is not intended to be limited in this manner). In some embodiments, the SC-P cells exhibit a response to multiple glucose challenges (e.g., at least one, at least two, or at least three or more sequential glucose challenges). In some embodiments, the response resembles the response of endogenous islets (e.g., human islets) to multiple glucose challenges. In some embodiments, the morphology of the SC-P cell resembles the morphology of an endogenous P cell. In some embodiments, the SC-P cell exhibits an in vitro GSIS response that resembles the GSIS response of an endogenous P cell. In some embodiments, the SC-P cell exhibits an in vivo GSIS response that resembles the GSIS response of an endogenous P cell. In some embodiments, the SC-P cell exhibits both an in vitro and in vivo GSIS response that resembles the GSIS response of an endogenous P cell. In some embodiments, the GSIS response of the SC-P cell can be observed within two weeks of transplantation of the SC-P cell into a host (e.g., a human or animal). In some embodiments, the GSIS response of the SC-P cell can be observed within three weeks of transplantation of the SC-P cell into a host (e.g., a human or animal). In some embodiments, the GSIS response of the SC-P cell can be observed within four weeks of transplantation of the SC-P cell into a host (e.g., a human or animal). In some embodiments, the GSIS response of the SC-P cell can be observed between one month and three months of transplantation of the SC-P cell into a host (e.g., a human or animal). In some embodiments, the SC-P cells package insulin into secretory granules. In some embodiments, the SC-P cells exhibit encapsulated crystalline insulin granules when viewed using electron microscopy. In some embodiments, the SC-P cells exhibit a stimulation index of greater than 1. In some embodiments, the SC-P cells exhibit a stimulation index of greater than 1.1. In some embodiments, the SC-P cells exhibit a stimulation index of greater than 2. In some embodiments, the stimulation index of the cell is characterized by the ratio of insulin secreted in response to high glucose concentrations (e.g., 15 mM) compared to low glucose concentrations (e.g., 2.5 mM). In some embodiments, the SC-P cells exhibit cytokine-induced apoptosis in response to cytokines. In some embodiments, insulin secretion from the SC-P cells is enhanced in response to known antidiabetic drugs (e.g., secretagogues). In some embodiments, the SC-P cells are monohormonal. In some embodiments, the SC-P cells do not abnormally co-express other hormones, such as glucagon, somatostatin or pancreatic polypeptide. In some embodiments, the SC-P cells exhibit a low rate of replication. In some embodiments, the SC-P cells increase intracellular Ca2+ in response to glucose. The terms “stem cell-derived a cell,” “SC-a cell,” “functional a cell,” “functional pancreatic a cell,” “mature SC-a cell,” “a-like cell” and their grammatical equivalents can refer to cells (e.g., non-native pancreatic a cells) that display at least one marker indicative of a pancreatic a cell (e.g., glucagon, expressing ISL1 but not NKX6.1), expresses glucagon, and is capable of secreting functional glucagon in response to a stimulus that induces an endogenous pancreatic a cell to secrete functional glucagon. In some embodiments, the “SC-a cell” does not express somatostatin. In some embodiments, the “SC-a cell” does not express insulin. In some embodiments, the terms “SC-a cell” and “non-native a cell” as used herein are interchangeable. In some embodiments, the “SC-a cell” comprises a mature pancreatic cell. For short, these cells may be referred to as simply “a cells” in this disclosure. The terms “stem cell-derived 6 cell,” “SC-6 cell,” “functional 6 cell,” “functional pancreatic 6 cell,” “mature SC-6 cell,” “6-like cell” and their grammatical equivalents can refer to cells (e.g., non-native pancreatic 6 cells) that display at least one marker indicative of a pancreatic 6 cell (e.g., somatostatin), expresses and is capable of secreting somatostatin in response to a stimulus that induces an endogenous pancreatic 6 cell to secrete functional glucagon. For simplicity, SC- 6 cells may be referred to as simply “6 cells” in this disclosure. In some embodiments, “SC-6 cell” does not express glucagon. In some embodiments, “SC-6 cell” does not express insulin. In some embodiments, the terms “SC-6 cell” and “non-native 6 cell” as used herein are interchangeable. In some embodiments, the “SC-6 cell” comprises a mature pancreatic cell. The terms “stem cell-derived enterochromaffin (EC) cell,” “SC-EC cell,” and their grammatical equivalents can refer to cells (e.g., non-native pancreatic EC cells) that display at least one marker indicative of a pancreatic EC cell (e.g., VMAT1 (vesicular monoamine transporter 1), expressing NKX6.1 but not ISL1). In some embodiments, the terms “SC-EC cell” and “non-native EC cell” as used herein are interchangeable. Similar to SC-P cells, it is to be understood that the SC-a, SC-6 cells, and SC-EC cells need not be derived (e.g., directly) from stem cells, as the methods of the disclosure are capable of deriving SC-a cells from other precursor cells generated during in vitro differentiation of SC-P cells as a starting point (e.g., one can use embryonic stem cells, induced-pluripotent stem cells, progenitor cells, partially reprogrammed somatic cells (e.g., a somatic cell which has been partially reprogrammed to an intermediate state between an induced pluripotent stem cell and the somatic cell from which it was derived), multipotent cells, totipotent cells, a transdifferentiated version of any of the foregoing cells, etc., as the invention is not intended to be limited in this manner). As used herein, the term “insulin producing cell” and its grammatical equivalent refer to a cell differentiated from a pancreatic progenitor, or precursor thereof, which secretes insulin. An insulin-producing cell can include pancreatic P cell as that term is described herein, as well as pancreatic P-like cells (e.g., insulin-positive, endocrine cells) that synthesize (e.g., transcribe the insulin gene, translate the proinsulin mRNA, and modify the proinsulin mRNA into the insulin protein), express (e.g., manifest the phenotypic trait carried by the insulin gene), or secrete (release insulin into the extracellular space) insulin in a constitutive or inducible manner. A population of insulin producing cells e.g., produced by differentiating insulin-positive endocrine cells or a precursor thereof into SC-P cells according to the methods of the present disclosure can be pancreatic P cells or P-like cells (e.g., cells that have at least one, or at least two least characteristics of an endogenous P cell and exhibit a glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) response that resembles an endogenous adult P cell). The population of insulin-producing cells, e.g., produced by the methods as disclosed herein can comprise mature pancreatic P cell or SC-P cells, and can also contain non-insulin-producing cells (e.g., cells of cell like phenotype with the exception they do not produce or secrete insulin). The terms “insulin-positive P-like cell,” “insulin-positive endocrine cell,” and their grammatical equivalents can refer to cells (e.g., pancreatic endocrine cells) that display at least one marker indicative of a pancreatic P cell and also expresses insulin but, unless specified otherwise, lack a glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) response characteristic of an endogenous P cell. Exemplary markers of “insulin-positive endocrine cell” include, but are not limited to, NKX6.1 (NK6 homeobox 1), ISL1 (Isletl), and insulin. The term “P cell marker” refers to, without limitation, proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, polymorphism of proteins and nucleic acids, splice variants, fragments of proteins or nucleic acids, elements, and other analyte which are expressed or present in pancreatic P cells. Exemplary P cell markers include, but are not limited to, pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1 (PDX1) polypeptide, insulin, c-peptide, amylin, E-cadherin, Hnf3p, PCV3, B2, Nkx2.2, GLUT2, PC2, ZnT-8, ISL1, Pax6, Pax4, NeuroD, 1 Infib, Hnf-6, Hnf-3beta, VMAT2, NKX6.1, and MafA, and those described in Zhang et al., Diabetes. 50(10):2231-6 (2001). In some embodiments, the P cell marker is a nuclear P-cell marker. In some embodiments, the P cell marker is PDX1 or PH3. The term “pancreatic endocrine marker” can refer to without limitation, proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, polymorphism of proteins and nucleic acids, splice variants, fragments of proteins or nucleic acids, elements, and other analytes which are expressed or present in pancreatic endocrine cells. Exemplary pancreatic endocrine cell markers include, but are not limited to, Ngn-3, NeuroD and Islet-1. The term “pancreatic progenitor,” “pancreatic endocrine progenitor,” “pancreatic precursor,” “pancreatic endocrine precursor” and their grammatical equivalents are used interchangeably herein and can refer to a stem cell which is capable of becoming a pancreatic hormone expressing cell capable of forming pancreatic endocrine cells, pancreatic exocrine cells or pancreatic duct cells. These cells are committed to differentiating towards at least one type of pancreatic cell, e.g. P cells that produce insulin; a cells that produce glucagon; 6 cells (or D cells) that produce somatostatin; and / or F cells that produce pancreatic polypeptide. Such cells can express at least one of the following markers: NGN3, NKX2.2, NeuroD, ISL-1, Pax4, Pax6, or ARX. The term “PDXl-positive pancreatic progenitor” as used herein can refer to a cell which is a pancreatic endoderm (PE) cell which has the capacity to differentiate into SC-P cells, such as pancreatic P cells. A PDX1-positive pancreatic progenitor expresses the marker PDX1. Other markers include, but are not limited to Cdcpl, or Ptfla, or HNF6 or NRx2.2. The expression of PDX1 may be assessed by any method known by the skilled person such as immunochemistry using an anti-PDXl antibody or quantitative RT-PCR. In some embodiments, a PDXl-positive pancreatic progenitor cell lacks expression of NKX6.1. In some embodiments, a PDXl-positive pancreatic progenitor cell can also be referred to as PDXl-positive, NKX6.1-negative pancreatic progenitor cell due to its lack of expression of NKX6.1. In some embodiments, the PDXl-positive pancreatic progenitor cells can also be termed as “pancreatic foregut endoderm cells.” The terms “PDXl-positive, NKX6.1-positive pancreatic progenitor,” and “NKX6.1-positive pancreatic progenitor” are used interchangeably herein and can refer to a cell which is a pancreatic endoderm (PE) cell which has the capacity to differentiate into insulin-producing cells, such as pancreatic P cells. A PDXl-positive, NKX6.1-positive pancreatic progenitor expresses the markers PDX1 and NKX6-1. Other markers may include, but are not limited to Cdcpl, or Ptfla, or HNF6 or NRx2.2. The expression of NKX6-1 may be assessed by any method known by the skilled person such as immunochemistry using an anti-NKX6-l antibody or quantitative RT-PCR. As used herein, the terms “NKX6.1” and “NKX6-1” are equivalent and interchangeable. In some embodiments, the PDXl-positive, NKX6.1-positive pancreatic progenitor cells can also be termed as “pancreatic foregut precursor cells.” The terms “NeuroD” and “NeuroD 1” are used interchangeably and identify a protein expressed in pancreatic endocrine progenitor cells and the gene encoding it. The term “differentiated cell” or its grammatical equivalents means any primary cell that is not, in its native form, pluripotent as that term is defined herein. Stated another way, the term “differentiated cell” can refer to a cell of a more specialized cell type derived from a cell of a less specialized cell type (e.g., a stem cell such as an induced pluripotent stem cell) in a cellular differentiation process. Without wishing to be limited to theory, a pluripotent stem cell in the course of normal ontogeny can differentiate first to an endoderm cell that is capable of forming pancreas cells and other endoderm cell types. Further differentiation of an endoderm cell may lead to the pancreatic pathway, where -98% of the cells become exocrine, ductular, or matrix cells, and -2% become endocrine cells. Early endocrine cells are islet progenitors, which can then differentiate further into insulin-producing cells (e.g. functional endocrine cells) which secrete insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, or pancreatic polypeptide. Endoderm cells can also be differentiated into other cells of endodermal origin, e.g. lung, liver, intestine, thymus etc. As used herein, the term “somatic cell” can refer to any cells forming the body of an organism, as opposed to germline cells. In mammals, germline cells (also known as “gametes”) are the spermatozoa and ova which fuse during fertilization to produce a cell called a zygote, from which the entire mammalian embryo develops. Every other cell type in the mammalian body - apart from the sperm and ova, the cells from which they are made (gametocytes) and undifferentiated stem cells - is a somatic cell: internal organs, skin, bones, blood, and connective tissue are all made up of somatic cells. In some embodiments the somatic cell is a “non-embryonic somatic cell”, by which is meant a somatic cell that is not present in or obtained from an embryo and does not result from proliferation of such a cell in vitro. In some embodiments the somatic cell is an “adult somatic cell”, by which is meant a cell that is present in or obtained from an organism other than an embryo or a fetus or results from proliferation of such a cell in vitro. Unless otherwise indicated the methods for converting at least one insulin-positive endocrine cell or precursor thereof to an insulin-producing, glucose responsive cell can be performed both in vivo and in vitro (where in vivo is practiced when at least one insulin-positive endocrine cell or precursor thereof are present within a subject, and where in vitro is practiced using an isolated at least one insulin-positive endocrine cell or precursor thereof maintained in culture). As used herein, the term “adult cell” can refer to a cell found throughout the body after embryonic development. The term “endoderm cell” as used herein can refer to a cell which is from one of the three primary germ cell layers in the very early embryo (the other two germ cell layers are the mesoderm and ectoderm). The endoderm is the innermost of the three layers. An endoderm cell differentiates to give rise first to the embryonic gut and then to the linings of the respiratory and digestive tracts (e.g., the intestine), the liver and the pancreas. The term “a cell of endoderm origin” as used herein can refer to any cell which has developed or differentiated from an endoderm cell. For example, a cell of endoderm origin includes cells of the liver, lung, pancreas, thymus, intestine, stomach and thyroid. Without wishing to be bound by theory, liver and pancreas progenitors (also referred to as pancreatic progenitors) are developed from endoderm cells in the embryonic foregut. Shortly after their specification, liver and pancreas progenitors rapidly acquire markedly different cellular functions and regenerative capacities. These changes are elicited by inductive signals and genetic regulatory factors that are highly conserved among vertebrates. Interest in the development and regeneration of the organs has been fueled by the intense need for hepatocytes and pancreatic P cells in the therapeutic treatment of liver failure and type I diabetes. Studies in diverse model organisms and humans have revealed evolutionarily conserved inductive signals and transcription factor networks that elicit the differentiation of liver and pancreatic cells and provide guidance for how to promote hepatocyte and P cell differentiation from diverse stem and progenitor cell types. The term “definitive endoderm” as used herein can refer to a cell differentiated from an endoderm cell and which can be differentiated into a SC-P cell (e.g., a pancreatic P cell). A definitive endoderm cell expresses the marker Soxl7. Other markers characteristic of definitive endoderm cells may include, but are not limited to MIXL2, GATA4, HNF3b, GSC, FGF17, VWF, CALCR, FOXQ1, CXCR4, Cerberus, OTX2, goosecoid, C-Kit, CD99, CMK0R1 and CRIP1. In particular, definitive endoderm cells herein express Soxl7 and in some embodiments Soxl7 and HNF3B, and do not express significant levels of GATA4, SPARC, APF or DAB. Definitive endoderm cells are not positive for the marker PDX1 (e.g. they are PDX1-negative). Definitive endoderm cells have the capacity to differentiate into cells including those of the liver, lung, pancreas, thymus, intestine, stomach and thyroid. The expression of Soxl7 and other markers of definitive endoderm may be assessed by any method known by the skilled person such as immunochemistry, e.g., using an anti-Soxl7 antibody, or quantitative RT-PCR. The term “pancreatic endoderm” can refer to a cell of endoderm origin which is capable of differentiating into multiple pancreatic lineages, including pancreatic P cells, but no longer has the capacity to differentiate into non-pancreatic lineages. The term “pancreatic islet cells” refers to a population of cells that include different types of pancreatic endocrine cells (P-cells, a-cells, 6-cells, s-cells) and enterochromaffin (EC) cells, e.g., as described in Xavier et al. (J Clin Med. 2018 Mar; 7(3): 54), incorporated herein by reference. The term “primitive gut tube cell” or “gut tube cell” as used herein can refer to a cell differentiated from an endoderm cell and which can be differentiated into a SC-P cell (e.g., a pancreatic P cell). A primitive gut tube cell expresses at least one of the following markers: HNP1-P, HNF3-P or HNF4-a. In some embodiments, a primitive gut tube cell is FOXA2- positive and SOX2-positive, i.e., expresses both FOXA2 (also known as HNF3-P) and SOX2. In some embodiments, a primitive gut tube cell is FOXA2-positive and PDX1-negative, i.e., expresses FOXA2 but not PDX1. Primitive gut tube cells have the capacity to differentiate into cells including those of the lung, liver, pancreas, stomach, and intestine. The expression of HNF1-P and other markers of primitive gut tube may be assessed by any method known by the skilled person such as immunochemistry, e.g., using an anti-HNFl-P antibody. The term “phenotype” can refer to one or a number of total biological characteristics that define the cell or organism under a particular set of environmental conditions and factors, regardless of the actual genotype. The terms “patient,” “subject,” and “individual” may be used interchangeably and refer to either a human or a non-human animal. The “non-human animals” and “non-human mammals” as used interchangeably herein, includes mammals such as rats, mice, rabbits, sheep, cats, dogs, cows, pigs, and non-human primates. The term “subject” also encompasses any vertebrate including but not limited to mammals, reptiles, amphibians and fish. However, advantageously, the subject is a mammal such as a human, or other mammals such as a domesticated mammal, e.g., dog, cat, horse, and the like, or production mammal, e.g. cow, sheep, pig, and the like. “Patient in need thereof’ or “subject in need thereof’ is referred to herein as a patient diagnosed with or suspected of having a disease or disorder, for instance, but not restricted to diabetes. “Administering” as used herein can refer to providing one or more compositions described herein to a patient or a subject. By way of example and not limitation, composition administration, e.g., injection, can be performed by intravenous (i.v.) injection, sub-cutaneous (s.c.) injection, intradermal (i.d.) injection, intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection, or intramuscular (i.m.) injection. One or more such routes can be employed. Parenteral administration can be, for example, by bolus injection or by gradual perfusion over time. Alternatively, or concurrently, administration can be by the oral route. Additionally, administration can also be by surgical deposition of a bolus or pellet of cells, or positioning of a medical device. In an embodiment, a composition of the present disclosure can comprise engineered cells or host cells expressing nucleic acid sequences described herein, or a vector comprising at least one nucleic acid sequence described herein, in an amount that is effective to treat or prevent proliferative disorders. A pharmaceutical composition can comprise the cell population as described herein, in combination with one or more pharmaceutically or physiologically acceptable carriers, diluents or excipients. Such compositions can comprise buffers such as neutral buffered saline, phosphate buffered saline and the like; carbohydrates such as glucose, mannose, sucrose or dextrans, mannitol; proteins; polypeptides or amino acids such as glycine; antioxidants; chelating agents such as EDTA or glutathione; adjuvants (e.g., aluminum hydroxide); and preservatives. The ranges disclosed throughout are sometimes referred to as, for example, “X is administered on or on about day 1 to 2; or 2 to 3 [or any numerical range].” This range includes the numbers themselves (e.g., the endpoints of the range) and any individual numbers present in this range. All these different combinations are contemplated by the ranges disclosed throughout. All disclosed ranges should be interpreted in this manner, whether it refers to an administration of a therapeutic agent or referring to days, months, years, weight, dosage amounts, etc., unless otherwise specifically indicated to the contrary. Differentiation stages Pancreatic differentiation as disclosed herein may be carried out in a step-wise manner. In an exemplary embodiment of the step-wise progression, “Stage 1” or “SI” or “Stl” refers to the first step in the differentiation process, the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into cells expressing markers characteristic of definitive endoderm cells (“DE”, “Stage 1 cells” or “Stl cells” or “SI cells”). “Stage 2” or “S2” or “St2” refers to the second step, the differentiation of cells expressing markers characteristic of definitive endoderm cells into cells expressing markers characteristic of gut tube cells (“GT”, “Stage 2 cells” or “St2 cells” or “S2 cells”). “Stage 3” or “S3” or “St3” refers to the third step, the differentiation of cells expressing markers characteristic of gut tube cells into cells expressing markers characteristic of pancreatic progenitor 1 cells (“PPI”, “Stage 3 cells” or “St3 cells” or “S3 cells”). “Stage 4” or “S4” or “St4” refers to the fourth step, the differentiation of cells expressing markers characteristic of pancreatic progenitor 1 cells into cells expressing markers characteristic of pancreatic progenitor 2 cells (“PP2”, “Stage 4 cells” or “St4 cells” or “S4 cells”). “Stage 5” or “S5” or “St5” refers to the fifth step, the differentiation of cells expressing markers characteristic of pancreatic progenitor 2 cells (e.g., PDX.1+, NKX6.1+) into cells expressing markers characteristic of pancreatic endoderm cells and / or pancreatic endocrine progenitor cells (e.g., insulin+) (“EN”, “Stage 5 cells” or “St5 cells” or “S5 cells”). “Stage 6” or “S6” or “St6” refers to the differentiation of cells expressing markers characteristic of pancreatic endocrine progenitor cells (e.g., insulin) into cells expressing markers characteristic of pancreatic endocrine P cells (“SC-P cells”) or pancreatic endocrine a cells (“SC-a cells”). It should be appreciated, however, that not all cells in a particular population progress through these stages at the same rate, i.e., some cells may have progressed less, or more, down the differentiation pathway than the majority of cells present in the population. For example, in some embodiments, SC-P cells can be identified during stage 5, at the conclusion of stage 5, at the beginning of stage 6, etc. Examples of methods of making cells of any one of stages 1-6 are provided in, for example, US Patent 10,030,229; US Patent 10,443,042; published application US 20200332262; and published application US 20210198632, published application US 20220090020, and published application WO2022147056, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. Compositions and methods for producing pancreatic islet cells In aspects, the present disclosure provides compositions and methods of differentiating pancreatic islet cells (e.g., differentiating from stem cells such as human embryonic stem cells or human pluripotent stem cells).

In some embodiments, the fifth population of cells are cultured in the fifth medium for a period of about 192 hours. In some embodiments, culturing the fifth population of cells in the fifth media for a contacting period described herein (e.g., 192 hours) results in a sixth population of cells. In some embodiments, at least 15% (e.g., at least 15%, at least 20%, at least 25%, at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40% or more) of the sixth population of cells are NKX6.1-negative, ISL-positive; and wherein less than 12% (e.g., less than 12%, less than 10%, less than 8%, less than 6%, less than 4%, less than 2% or less) of the sixth population of cells are NKX6.1-negative, ISL-negative. In some embodiments, a method described herein comprises: (i) culturing a first population of cells in a first medium to obtain a second population of cells, wherein the first population of cells comprises pancreatic progenitor cells that are PDX1-positive and NKX6.1 negative, and pancreatic progenitor cells that are PDXl-positive and NKX6.1 positive; and the first medium comprises: a FoxOl inhibitor, a notch signaling pathway inhibitor, a PKC activator, a fibroblast growth factor, a sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway inhibitor, retinoic acid, a Rho-associated, coiled-coil containing protein kinase (ROCK) inhibitor, a TGF-P ligand, and a water-soluble synthetic polymer; (ii) culturing the second population of cells obtained in (i) with a second medium to obtain a third population of cells, wherein the second medium comprises: a Wnt signaling pathway inhibitor, a PKC activator, an epidermal growth factor, a thyroid hormone, a TGFP-R1 kinase inhibitor, a notch signaling pathway inhibitor, a sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway inhibitor, retinoic acid, a Rho-associated, coiled-coil containing protein kinase (ROCK) inhibitor, a protein kinase inhibitor, a bone morphogenetic (BMP) signaling pathway inhibitor, a histone methyltransferase EZH2 inhibitor, an acetyl CoA related metabolite, an HD AC inhibitor, a redox homeostasis regulator, a one carbon metabolism pathway intermediate, a vitamin, glutamine and a water soluble synthetic polymer (e.g., PVA), and wherein the second medium does not comprise a FOXO1 inhibitor; (iii) culturing the third population of cells obtained in (ii) with a third medium to obtain a fourth population of cells, wherein the third medium comprises: a notch signaling pathway inhibitor, a TGFP-R1 kinase inhibitor, a thyroid hormone, a bone morphogenetic (BMP) signaling pathway, a Rho-associated, coiled-coil containing protein kinase (ROCK) inhibitor, a protein kinase inhibitor, and a histone methyltransferase EZH2 inhibitor, an acetyl CoA related metabolite, an HD AC inhibitor, a redox homeostasis regulator, an one carbon metabolism pathway intermediate, a vitamin, glutamine and a water soluble synthetic polymer, and wherein the third medium does not comprise a Wnt signaling pathway inhibitor and a PKC activator; (iv) culturing the fourth population of cells obtained in (iii) with a fourth medium to obtain a fifth population of cells, wherein the fourth medium comprises a notch signaling pathway inhibitor, a TGFP-R1 kinase inhibitor, a thyroid hormone, a bone morphogenetic (BMP) signaling pathway inhibitor, a Rho-associated, coiled-coil containing protein kinase (ROCK) inhibitor, a protein kinase inhibitor, a histone methyltransferase EZH2 inhibitor, an acetyl CoA related metabolite, an HD AC inhibitor, a redox homeostasis regulator, a one carbon metabolism pathway intermediate, a vitamin, glutamine, glutamate, carnitine, albumin, and ZnSO4, and wherein the fourth medium does not comprise a Wnt signaling pathway inhibitor and a PKC activator; and (v) culturing the fifth population of cells obtained in (iv) with a fifth medium to obtain a sixth population of cells, wherein the fifth medium comprises albumin (e.g., human serum albumin or HSA) and ZnSO4. In some embodiments, a method described herein further comprises generating the first population of cells comprising pancreatic progenitor cells that are PDX1-positive and NKX6.1 negative and pancreatic progenitor cells that are PDXl-positive and NKX6.1 positive. In some embodiments, the first population of cells are differentiated from stem cells (e.g., embryonic stem cells or pluripotent stem cells). In some embodiments, the stem cells (e.g., embryotic stem cells) are generated from the inner cell mass of blastocyst-stage embryos represent. Stem cells can be maintained in culture, renew for themselves, proliferate unlimitedly as undifferentiated ES cells, and are capable of differentiating into all cell types of the body as the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm lineage cells or tissues. Cell types during pancreatic differentiation Aspects of the present disclosure provide cell types of the pancreatic lineage obtained during differentiation of stem cells to generate pancreatic islet cells. Such cells include any cell that is capable of differentiating into a pancreatic islet cell, including for example, a pluripotent stem cell, a definitive endoderm cell, a primitive gut tube cell, a pancreatic progenitor cell, or endocrine progenitor cell, when cultured under conditions suitable for differentiating the precursor cell into the pancreatic islet cell. Stem Cells “Stem cell” refers to a cell (e.g., plant stem cell, vertebrate stem cell) that has the ability both to self-renew and to generate a differentiated cell type (Morrison et al. (1997) Cell 88:287298). In the context of cell ontogeny, the adjective “differentiated,” or “differentiating” is a relative term. A “differentiated cell” is a cell that has progressed further down the developmental pathway than the cell it is being compared with. Thus, pluripotent stem cells can differentiate into lineage-restricted progenitor cells (e.g., mesodermal stem cells), which in turn can differentiate into cells that are further restricted (e.g., neuron progenitors), which can differentiate into end-stage cells (i.e., terminally differentiated cells, e.g., neurons, cardiomyocytes, etc.), which play a characteristic role in a certain tissue type, and can or cannot retain the capacity to proliferate further. Stem cells can be characterized by both the presence of specific markers (e.g., proteins, RNAs, etc.) and the absence of specific markers. Stem cells can also be identified by functional assays both in vitro and in vivo, particularly assays relating to the ability of stem cells to give rise to multiple differentiated progeny. In an embodiment, the host cell is an adult stem cell, a somatic stem cell, a non- embryonic stem cell, an embryonic stem cell, hematopoietic stem cell, an include pluripotent stem cells, and a trophoblast stem cell. Stem cells of interest include pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). The term “pluripotent stem cell” or “PSC” is used herein to mean a stem cell capable of producing all cell types of the organism. Therefore, a PSC can give rise to cells of all germ layers of the organism (e.g., the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm of a vertebrate). Pluripotent cells are capable of forming teratomas and of contributing to ectoderm, mesoderm, or endoderm tissues in a living organism. Pluripotent stem cells of plants are capable of giving rise to all cell types of the plant (e.g., cells of the root, stem, leaves, etc.). PSCs of animals can be derived in a number of different ways. For example, embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are derived from the inner cell mass of an embryo (Thomson et. al, Science. 1998 Nov. 6; 282(5391): 1145-7) whereas induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are derived from somatic cells (Takahashi et. al, Cell. 2007 Nov. 30; 13 l(5):861-72; Takahashi et. al, Nat Protoc. 2007; 2(12):3081-9; Yu et. al, Science. 2007 Dec. 21; 318(5858): 1917-20. Epub 2007 Nov. 20). Because the term PSC refers to pluripotent stem cells regardless of their derivation, the term PSC encompasses the terms ESC and iPSC, as well as the term embryonic germ stem cells (EGSC), which are another example of a PSC. PSCs can be in the form of an established cell line, they can be obtained directly from primary embryonic tissue, or they can be derived from a somatic cell. By “embryonic stem cell” (ESC) is meant a PSC that is isolated from an embryo, typically from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst. ESC lines are listed in the NIH Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry, e.g. hESBGN-Ol, hESBGN-02, hESBGN-03, hESBGN-04 (BresaGen, Inc ); HES-1, HES-2, HES-3, HES-4, HES-5, HES-6 (ES Cell International); Miz-hESl (MizMedi Hospital-Seoul National University); HSF-1, HSF-6 (University of California at San Francisco); and Hl, H7, H9, H13, H14 (Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WiCell Research Institute)). Stem cells of interest also include embryonic stem cells from other primates, such as Rhesus stem cells and marmoset stem cells. The stem cells can be obtained from any mammalian species, e.g., human, equine, bovine, porcine, canine, feline, rodent, e.g. mice, rats, hamster, primate, etc. (Thomson et al. (1998) Science 282: 1145; Thomson et al. (1995) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci USA 92:7844; Thomson et al. (1996) Biol. Reprod. 55:254; Shamblott et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 95: 13726, 1998). In culture, ESCs typically grow as flat colonies with large nucleo-cytoplasmic ratios, defined borders and prominent nucleoli. In addition, ESCs express SSEA-3, SSEA-4, TRA-1-60, TRA-1-81, and Alkaline Phosphatase, but not SSEA-1. Examples of methods of generating and characterizing ESCs may be found in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 7,029,913, U.S. Pat. No. 5,843,780, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,200,806, each of which is incorporated herein by its entirety. Methods for proliferating hESCs in the undifferentiated form are described in WO 99 / 20741, WO 01 / 51616, and WO 03 / 020920, each of which is incorporated herein by its entirety. By “embryonic germ stem cell” (EGSC) or “embryonic germ cell” or “EG cell,” it is meant a PSC that is derived from germ cells and / or germ cell progenitors, e.g., primordial germ cells, i.e. those that can become sperm and eggs. Embryonic germ cells (EG cells) are thought to have properties similar to embryonic stem cells as described above. Examples of methods of generating and characterizing EG cells may be found in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 7, 153,684; Matsui, Y., et al., (1992) Cell 70:841; Shamblott, M., et al. (2001) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 98: 113; Shamblott, M., et al. (1998) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 95: 13726; and Koshimizu, U., et al. (1996) Development, 122: 1235, each of which are incorporated herein by its entirety. By “induced pluripotent stem cell” or “iPSC,” it is meant a PSC that is derived from a cell that is not a PSC (i.e., from a cell this is differentiated relative to a PSC). iPSCs can be derived from multiple different cell types, including terminally differentiated cells. iPSCs have an ES cell-like morphology, growing as flat colonies with large nucleo-cytoplasmic ratios, defined borders and prominent nuclei. In addition, iPSCs express one or more key pluripotency markers known by one of ordinary skill in the art, including but not limited to Alkaline Phosphatase, SSEA3, SSEA4, Sox2, Oct3 / 4, Nanog, TRA160, TRA181, TDGF 1, Dnmt3b, FoxD3, GDF3, Cyp26al, TERT, and zfp42. Examples of methods of generating and characterizing iPSCs can be found in, for example, Patent Publication Nos. US20090047263, US20090068742, US20090191159, US20090227032, US20090246875, and US20090304646, each of which are incorporated herein by its entirety. Generally, to generate iPSCs, somatic cells are provided with reprogramming factors (e.g., Oct4, SOX2, KLF4, MYC, Nanog, Lin28, etc.) known in the art to reprogram the somatic cells to become pluripotent stem cells. By “somatic cell,” it is meant any cell in an organism that, in the absence of experimental manipulation, does not ordinarily give rise to all types of cells in an organism. In other words, somatic cells are cells that have differentiated sufficiently that they do not naturally generate cells of all three germ layers of the body, i.e., ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. For example, somatic cells can include both neurons and neural progenitors, the latter of which is able to naturally give rise to all or some cell types of the central nervous system but cannot give rise to cells of the mesoderm or endoderm lineages. In certain examples, the stem cells can be undifferentiated (e.g., a cell not committed to a specific lineage) prior to exposure to at least one cell maturation factor according to the methods as disclosed herein, whereas in other examples it may be desirable to differentiate the stem cells to one or more intermediate cell types prior to exposure of the at least one cell maturation factor (s) described herein. For example, the stems cells may display morphological, biological or physical characteristics of undifferentiated cells that can be used to distinguish them from differentiated cells of embryo or adult origin. In some examples, undifferentiated cells may appear in the two dimensions of a microscopic view in colonies of cells with high nuclear / cytoplasmic ratios and prominent nucleoli. The stem cells may be themselves (for example, without substantially any undifferentiated cells being present) or may be used in the presence of differentiated cells. In certain examples, the stem cells may be cultured in the presence of suitable nutrients and optionally other cells such that the stem cells can grow and optionally differentiate. For example, embryonic fibroblasts or fibroblast-like cells may be present in the culture to assist in the growth of the stem cells. The fibroblast may be present during one stage of stem cell growth but not necessarily at all stages. For example, the fibroblast may be added to stem cell cultures in a first culturing stage and not added to the stem cell cultures in one or more subsequent culturing stages. Stem cells used in all aspects of the present invention can be any cells derived from any kind of tissue (for example embryonic tissue such as fetal or pre-fetal tissue, or adult tissue), which stem cells have the characteristic of being capable under appropriate conditions of producing progeny of different cell types, e.g., derivatives of all of at least one of the 3 germinal layers (endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm). These cell types may be provided in the form of an established cell line, or they may be obtained directly from primary embryonic tissue and used immediately for differentiation. Included are cells listed in the NIH Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry, e.g. hESBGN-Ol, hESBGN-02, hESBGN-03, hESBGN-04 (BresaGen, Inc.); HES-1, HES-2, HES-3, HES-4, HES-5, HES-6 (ES Cell International); Miz-hESl (MizMedi Hospital-Seoul National University); HSF-1, FISF-6 (University of California at San Francisco); and Hl, H7, H9, H13, H14 (Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WiCell Research Institute)). In some embodiments, the source of human stem cells or pluripotent stem cells used for chemically-induced differentiation into mature, insulin positive cells did not involve destroying a human embryo. In another embodiment, the stem cells can be isolated from tissue including solid tissue. In some embodiments, the tissue is skin, fat tissue (e.g., adipose tissue), muscle tissue, heart or cardiac tissue. In other embodiments, the tissue is for example but not limited to, umbilical cord blood, placenta, bone marrow, or chondral. Stem cells of interest also include embryonic cells of various types, exemplified by human embryonic stem (hES) cells, described by Thomson et al, (1998) Science 282: 1145; embryonic stem cells from other primates, such as Rhesus stem cells (Thomson et al. (1995) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 92:7844); marmoset stem cells (Thomson et al. (1996) Biol. Reprod. 55:254); and human embryonic germ (hEG) cells (Shambloft et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 95: 13726, 1998). Also of interest are lineage committed stem cells, such as mesodermal stem cells and other early cardiogenic cells (see Reyes et al, (2001) Blood 98:2615-2625; Eisenberg & Bader (1996) Circ Res. 78(2):205-16; etc.) The stem cells may be obtained from any mammalian species, e.g., human, equine, bovine, porcine, canine, feline, rodent, e.g., mice, rats, hamster, primate, etc. In some embodiments, a human embryo was not destroyed for the source of pluripotent cell used on the methods and compositions as disclosed herein. A mixture of cells from a suitable source of endothelial, muscle, and / or neural stem cells can be harvested from a mammalian donor by methods known in the art. A suitable source is the hematopoietic microenvironment. For example, circulating peripheral blood, preferably mobilized (i.e., recruited), may be removed from a subject. In an embodiment, the stem cells can be reprogrammed stem cells, such as stem cells derived from somatic or differentiated cells. In such an embodiment, the de-differentiated stem cells can be for example, but not limited to, neoplastic cells, tumor cells and cancer cells or alternatively induced reprogrammed cells such as induced pluripotent stem cells or iPS cells. Definitive Endoderm Cells The definitive endoderm can be generated in vivo from the inner cell mass by the process of gastrulation of embryogenesis, in which epiblast cells are instructed to form the three germ layers. Definitive endoderm can give rise to diverse cells and tissues that contribute to vital organs as the pancreatic P cells, liver hepatocytes, lung alveolar cells, thyroid, thymus, and the epithelial lining of the alimentary and respiratory tract. It is different from the primitive endoderm of extraembryonic tissues, which can give rise to the visceral and parietal endoderm. The definitive endoderm derived from ES cells is theoretically capable of becoming any endoderm derivatives. Precise patterning of anterior-posterior axis of the definitive endoderm can eventually form the primitive gut tube. The definitive endoderm-derived primitive gut tube induces the pharynx, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small and large intestine along the anterior-posterior axis as well as associated organs, including pancreas, lung, thyroid, thymus, parathyroid, and liver. The anterior portion of the foregut of the primitive gut tube becomes lung, thyroid, esophagus, and stomach. The pancreas, liver, and duodenum originate from the posterior portion of the foregut. The midgut and hindgut of primitive gut tube gives rise to the small and large intestine. The anterior foregut expresses developmental markers, NK2 homeobox 1 (NKX2-1) and SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 2 (SOX2); the posterior foregut expresses hematopoietically expressed homeobox (HHEX), pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1 (PDX1), one cut homeobox 1 (ONECUT1, known as HNF6), and hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF4A); and the midgut / hindgut expresses caudal type homeobox 1 (CDX1), caudal type homeobox 2 (CDX2), and motor neuron and pancreas homeobox 1 (MNX1) (3, 19, 20). As described herein definitive endoderm cells of use herein can be derived from any source or generated in accordance with any suitable protocol. In some aspects, pluripotent stem cells, e.g., iPSCs or hESCs, are differentiated to endoderm cells. In some aspects, the endoderm cells (stage 1) are further differentiated, e.g., to primitive gut tube cells (stage 2), PDX1-positive pancreatic progenitor cells (stage 3), NKX6.1-positive pancreatic progenitor cells (stage 4), or Ngn3-positive endocrine progenitor cells or insulin-positive endocrine cells (stage 5), followed by induction or maturation to SC-P cells (stage 6). In some embodiments, definitive endoderm cells can be obtained by differentiating at least some pluripotent cells in a population into definitive endoderm cells, e.g., by contacting a population of pluripotent cells with i) at least one growth factor from the TGF-P superfamily, and ii) a WNT signaling pathway activator, to induce the differentiation of at least some of the pluripotent cells into definitive endoderm cells, wherein the definitive endoderm cells express at least one marker characteristic of definitive endoderm. Any growth factor from the TGF-P superfamily capable of inducing the pluripotent stem cells to differentiate into definitive endoderm cells (e.g., alone, or in combination with a WNT signaling pathway activator) can be used in the method provided herein. In some embodiments, the growth factor from the TGF-P superfamily comprises Activin A. In some embodiments, the growth factor from the TGF-P superfamily comprises growth differentiating factor 8 (GDF8). Any WNT signaling pathway activator capable of inducing the pluripotent stem cells to differentiate into definitive endoderm cells (e.g., alone, or in combination with a growth factor from the TGF-P superfamily) can be used in the method provided herein. In some embodiments, the WNT signaling pathway activator comprises CHIR99021. In some embodiments, the WNT signaling pathway activator comprises Wnt3a recombinant protein. In some embodiments, differentiating at least some pluripotent cells in a population into definitive endoderm cells is achieved by a process of contacting a population of pluripotent cells with i) Activin A, and ii) CHIR99021 for a suitable period of time, e.g., about 2 days, about 3 days, about 4 days, or about 5 days to induce the differentiation of at least some of the pluripotent cells in the population into definitive endoderm cells, wherein the definitive endoderm cells express at least one marker characteristic of definitive endoderm. In some embodiments, the process comprises contacting a population of pluripotent cells with activin A and CHIR99021 for 1 day, and then with activin A (in the absence of CHIR99021) for a further 1 or 2 days. In some examples, the method comprises differentiating pluripotent cells into definitive endoderm cells by contacting a population of pluripotent cells with a suitable concentration of the growth factor from the TGF-0 superfamily (e.g., Activin A), such as, about 10 ng / mL, about 20 ng / mL, about 50 ng / mL, about 75 ng / mL, about 80 ng / mL, about 90 ng / mL, about 95 ng / mL, about 100 ng / mL, about 110 ng / mL, about 120 ng / mL, about 130 ng / mL, about 140 ng / mL, about 150 ng / mL, about 175 ng / mL, about 180 ng / mL, about 200 ng / mL, about 250 ng / mL, or about 300 ng / mL.
